Hello
For more than 25 years, I've helped organizations tell their most important stories by building high-performing creative teams, leading complex multimedia productions, and transforming ambitious ideas into compelling visual experiences. My career has spanned high-profile NASA missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope, as well as cable television startups, disaster response communications, and corporate media organizations.
I thrive where creativity, technology, and leadership intersect. Whether launching global broadcast initiatives, leading multidisciplinary production teams, or developing innovative storytelling strategies, I enjoy solving complex challenges and delivering work that informs, inspires, and creates measurable impact.
One of my greatest strengths is the ability to speak three essential languages: the creative language ("How do we tell this story in the most compelling way?"), the executive language ("What business objective does this support?"), and the technical language ("How do we build it?"). Bridging those perspectives allows me to unite diverse teams, earn stakeholder trust, and consistently deliver exceptional results.
A few career highlights include:
• Developed innovative production technologies and capture workflows—including NASA's first underwater HD video of astronaut training—expanding visual storytelling capabilities and establishing new creative standards for mission communications.
• Directed the production of more than 400 multimedia assets for the James Webb Space Telescope mission, leading world-class visual storytelling that generated more than 1 billion global media impressions.
• Established new benchmarks for multimedia production quality and operational excellence, improving creative consistency, streamlining workflows, and accelerating delivery across high-profile NASA missions.
• Built and led a nationwide 24/7 disaster communications network in just two weeks, directing local and remote teams during a 120-day deployment while delivering the first real-time situational updates on post-disaster recovery operations to government leaders and the public.
• Pioneered unconventional audience-growth strategies that transformed niche scientific content into mainstream cultural conversations, expanding media partnerships, dramatically increasing audience engagement, and earning an International Gold Echo Direct Marketing Award.
I believe the best stories come from curiosity, adventure, and the people you meet along the way.
My leadership style emphasizes empowering talented people, removing obstacles, embracing innovation, and creating an environment where creativity and operational discipline reinforce one another.
Beyond media production, you'll find me performing with two Washington, D.C.-area bands and an acoustic duo, SCUBA diving, motorcycle touring, tackling DIY projects, or enjoying great conversations with good friends over a good bourbon.
